Wild-assed guesses are always on topic here. Certainly when you make them. If we believed you, Trump would have been in jail so long we would be talking about parole by now |

I don't see a lot of guessing on the air on the shows I watch in Mueller...most of the talking heads say they don't know what Mueller will report or do. Of course, I don't watch Fox... You have "guessed" everything from "Trump was going prison" to "he will be an un indicted coconspirator". The only thing you haven't guessed is they will find nothing to charge him with. I assume you are getting these guesses from something you read or hear since you admit they have not released anything, public or leaked. |

It's my understanding that a typical wind mill produces the same electrical power as a 2,000 horsepower diesel generator that would burn approximately 100 gallons of diesel fuel per hour, 2400 gallons per day. Thats 876,000 gallons per year, enough diesel fuel to fill a mile of railroad tanker cars - way more than would be needed to produce the steel in the windmill. Some of the fake news floating around about wind power is just astounding and makes me wonder who is behind it and why. I suppose the usual suspects would be the petro industry. |

Some of the fake news floating around about wind power is just astounding and makes me wonder who is behind it and why. I suppose the usual suspects would be the petro industry. Haven't checked those facts either. I watched an interview with Dr. Patrick Michaels last night on Mark Levin's Sunday evening show, "Life, Liberty and Levin". Michaels is a highly qualified climatologist with academic and professional experience that would even impress Harry. He offered very interesting facts and rebuttals to the claims of the doom and gloom aspects of climate change that are so widely spread by scientists. He doesn't deny the fact that climate change exists but insists that it's a naturally occurring process that actually has benefits to the balance of nature on the planet. For example, the higher levels of CO2 (greenhouse effect) is promoting the new "green" growth on earth with the most visible affects being the rain forests that have been destroyed by mankind over the years. The greenhouse effect is also promoting grassland and grazing fields in areas that have become dry and barren over the years. He points to a study consisting of 32 world scientists representing many nations and their predictions of global warming. The problem is that the average of all these predictions are at least 10 times higher than what has actually happend, based on real measurements. He also gave a history lesson as to why the federal government has become the main source of funding for these research programs. It was following WWII and the development of the atomic bomb. Before he died Roosevelt recognized the benefit of having key scientists addressing a problem and promoted the establishment of a federally financed Academy of Science. Thus began the government funding of grants, etc. The problem is that (according to Michaels) the government ends up putting a bias on what the results of these scientific studies produce and the scientists feel compelled to support the government's position in order to continue receiving funding. He pointed out a 2014 study about hurricanes for example. Much is talked about in scientific groups and then repeated by the media that global warming is causing storms like hurricanes to become more frequent and increasing in strength. The 2014 report he cited contained data from 1980 to 2009 and showed a general strengthening of hurricanes during that period that supports the global warming argument. But then he pointed out that those years were "cherry picked" to produce the results wanted. The report was released in 2014 yet the data used started in 1980 and ended in 2009. Reason? Because if you include data from 2009 to 2014 or any data prior to 1980, the results indicate that overall the hurricane strength has not changed at all. Here's some of his credentials: https://www.cato.org/people/patrick-michaels |

Michaels is a highly qualifiedÂ* climatologist with academic and professional experience that would even impress Harry. Mark Levin is a well-known crackpot conspirationalist and Michaels is a paid hack for the fossil fuel industry and the Cato Institute, which, by the way, is a libertarian front for the right-wing Koch brothers. One would not expect any of them to be supportive of the prevailing facts and theories on climate change and its causes. Some 98% of climate scientists believe that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities, in particular emissions of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane. |
